Deny minorities voting rights: Saint amid Karnataka Waqf Board dispute

'Deny Muslims right to vote,' says seer amid Karnataka Waqf board dispute

A Hindu saint, on Tuesday, November 26, called for introducing a new law that denies voting rights to Muslims in India.

The statement was made by Vishwa Vokkaliga Mahasamsthana Mutt Kumara Chandrashekaranatha who was speaking at a protest rally organised by Bharatiya Kisan Sangha against the Waqf Board.

“Deprive Muslims of voting rights. Then they will mind their own business, and everyone can live in peace,” he said.

He claimed that in Pakistan, non-Muslims do not have the right to vote and hence a similar law should be followed in India, where Muslims are the minorities. His remark comes against the backdrop of the ongoing dispute where several farmers and landowners received notices stating that their land belongs to the Waqf board in Karnataka.

“The Waqf Board is claiming ownership of lands and buildings without any legal basis. This is a grave injustice. Taking away land that rightfully belongs to others is not Dharma,” the Hindu saint said.

“If their properties are snatched, will they keep quiet? They will not,” he added.

Terming Muslims as violent people, the Hindu saint said, “We do not hate anyone. We are peace-loving people who live in harmony with others. However, they (Muslims) are violent. They lack ethics, rules, and Dharma, and this is unacceptable.”

‘No difference between Congress, PFI’: Karnataka BJP

Bengalore: Coming down heavily on the Congress for demanding a ban on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on the lines of the Popular Front of India, the ruling BJP has equated the PFI with the Congress. Minister for Education B.C. Nagesh said on Friday that there was no difference between the ideologies of the Congress party and the PFI. “I don’t know what Congress leaders know about the RSS. A few of them want votes of Muslims and that is why they are demanding a ban on the RSS,” he said. “RSS is a patriotic organisation. It is not getting any funds from the government. It is not important whether it is registered or not. RSS is working for the welfare of the country. But, PFI is indulging in anti-national activities,” he stated.
